  • Parks Open Spaces Timeline
    Wandsworth Council Parks time line There are many large green open places in south west London. The commons of Barnes, Battersea, Clapham, Putney, Streatham, Tooting, Wandsworth and Wimbledon date from ‘time immemorial’. Though largely comprising the wastes or heathland of a parish, the commons were integral to mediaeval land settlements and were owned by lords of the manors. As London developed during the nineteenth century the land was increasingly developed for housing. Several legal battles took place to defend the commons as open land. Garratt Green had long been ‘defended’ by the infamous Mayors of Garratt elections. Listed below are the green places in the Borough of Wandsworth that are managed by Wandsworth Parks Service. Further historic information can be found in the individual site management plans. 1858 A Royal Commission into housing recommended creating Battersea Park, Kennington Park, and Victoria Park in Hackney with formal and informal gardens as a way offering moral improvement to an area. Health was a matter of fresh air, exercise and diet, rather than one of medical resources. 1885 Battersea Vestry created Christchurch Gardens as ‘an outdoor drawing room’. The shelter and memorial were added after 1945. 1886 Waterman’s Green was created by the Metropolitan Board of Works as part of the approach to the new Putney Bridge when it was rebuilt in stone. It was not publicly accessible. 1888 Battersea Vestry owned the parish wharf and created Vicarage Gardens as a promenade, complete with ornamental urns on plinths along the river wall. During 1990s it was included in flood defence schemes. 1903 Leader’s Gardens and Coronation Gardens were created as public parks by private donation from two wealthy local individuals.

  • The Making of Our Regional Park
    Newsletter June 201 3 The Making of Our Regional Park The Wandle Valley Regional Park is a idea that emerged some years ago from a collaboration between the South London Partnership and the GLA. As a Wandsworth Society member with an interest in the River Wandle, I became involved and was commissioned to write a report designed to get the four riparian councils, Wandsworth, Merton, Sutton and Croydon, working together to make the most of this great and underappreciated asset in our patch of south-west London. Many years down the line I find myself still a WandSoc committee member, but also chair of the Wandle Valley Forum, the umbrella group for about 50 community groups and charities with a keen interest in the river and the string of parks and open spaces through which it f lows all the way from Croydon and Carshalton to the Thames at Wandsworth. There was a danger that such a regional park would never be more than lines on a map and otherwise look the same as it had always done to those walking their dogs or cycling along the Wandle Trail that links most of this chain of open spaces. However, there is now a thorough understanding of the great importance of this remarkable green necklace, which also includes Mitcham Common, Beddington Park and the mysterious ‘Farmlands’ that link the two. In order to raise the profile of the park in the local community it was decided to hold a launch to present some of its frankly astonishing features, and a number of guest speakers have been invited to explain the importance of these community assets and of the development of the park itself, these include representatives from the WVRP, the Heritage Lottery Fund, Merton Priory Trust, as well as Bill Dunster of BedZed and local ornithologist Peter Alfrey.

  • GWLCC Records Andrew Burman
    GWLCC Records Andrew Burman Gentlemen of West London CC 1988-2020 The Gentlemen of West London Cricket Club, founded in 1988 by Mark Ashton, has played 607 games, excluding a 1993 T20 against Enterprise whose multi-coloured scorecard was annoyingly lost. Nor does the Gents’ batting card survive from the second game, against East Harrow Cheetahs in 1988 though strangely the bowling card does. Otherwise records are complete. This publication documents the exceptional: the cover picture shows J. Small (131*) and S. Kumar (74*) being clapped off by St Anne’s Allstars in June 2015 after posting the club’s highest stand of 212 in 22.5 overs, a recovery from the depths of 56-5. Initials of forenames are supplied where available, to distinguish between, for example, the five Joneses, eight Khans, 19 Patels and four Wrights who have played. Victoria RG in Surbiton (133) and Old Tenisonians CC in Motspur Park (87) have hosted more than a third of the games. Most (352) were in the 35-over format. There were 113 played over 40 overs, 70 timed, 43 T20 and 29 in outlier formats (10, 15, 16, 18, 25, 30, 32 and 38 overs). It is curious that in matches played to a conclusion the average runs scored in timed games, 259, was lower than in the 35- and 40-over formats (275 and 317). This might be explained by captains keeping on star bowlers for long spells, on often variable pitches. There have been 392 players (142 debuting in the last decade), of whom 40 played 50 times or more, making 4,523 appearances (68% of the total).
